In case of non-gatekeeper controlled ICTs and SIP trunks, the device count shown in SLV Route List Cloud will include only the devices from the selected cluster. It will not include the trunk end point that belongs to other clusters. However, Route List portal shows the detailed report where trunk end point from other clusters will also be shown.

The Service Level View uses map-based displays. Use the map view to display a logical grouping of device groups and to organize what you want to see.

•Open a separate window using the Detach option to view maps at the cluster level. To access the Detach Fault Monitor, see Tools Selector in Fault Monitor.

Unified CM in Service Level View

When changing a Unified CM application's registration from one Unified CM cluster to another, you must remove the registration of the application to the old Unified CM cluster in both the application and the old Unified CM cluster.

If you do not do this, registration of the application with the old Unified CM cluster will continue to appear in the Service Level View in the Down state.

Unity Connection in Service Level View

In the group selector, Unity Connections that associated with Unified CMs are grouped under a new icon, Voice Mail.

The Unity Connection tool tip contains device information whether it belongs to a Unity Connection cluster and its alternative node.

Accessing Service Level View

You can access Service Level View in the following ways:

You can select the Service Level View tab, the Diagnostics view, or from the Tools menu.

Understanding the Layout of the Service Level View

Working with the Map Display Pane

The map display pane shows the registration status of IP telephony devices as well as the SRST status of SRST-enabled devices. This information is displayed in a map-based view.

You can navigate down to an object in the display pane by clicking the object. The devices under the object are then displayed. Depending on the object you select, the data may be displayed in a map-based view or a report page.

The top view shows Cisco Unified CM clusters (previously referred to as Call Manager clusters), and Cisco Unified Contact Center solution groups. If objects are excessively large, they are displayed in a report page when selected. For smaller objects, the IP telephony devices registered in the group, are displayed along with registration status.

If you hover over the Unified CM cluster cloud, the following details appear:

•Customer Name (for multiple end-customer deployments only)

•Cluster Name

•Registered Phones

•Unregistered Phones

•Unknown Phones

•Communication Managers

•Devices

For Cisco Unified Contact Center, the top-level view displays only one Unified CCE cloud. This indicates that the system has a Unified CCE solution. When you navigate down on this cloud, the individual Unified CCEs appear again as clouds. Navigating down on these clouds, shows the individual devices with relevant information.

For Unity Connection clusters, the cluster-level view displays the Unity Connection devices grouped under the new icon, VOICEMAIL which is connected to a Unified CM (instead of APP SERVER as in the prior release).

If you hover over a Unity Connection device, the following details appear:

•Customer Name (for multiple end-customer deployments only)

•Name

•IP Address

•Capability

•Status

•Clustered (yes/no)

•Role (subscriber/publisher)

•Alternate Node (alternate node from the same UC cluster)

Unity Connection cluster running versions before 8.5 will not have the role information available as part of hover over tool tip (since this information is not exposed from the device side).

You can also see the neighbor connectivity of devices, by using the right-click menu. For every selected device, the next-hop devices that are physically connected, are displayed. See Starting the Connectivity Detail View.

Note To enlarge or reduce the size of the map display, use the size slider at the top of the pane. The size slider can be used in either the logical topology view, or the connectivity detail view.

If you hover over a device, the following details appear:

•Customer Name (for multiple end-customer deployments only)

•Name

•IP Address

•Capability

•Status

Searching for Phones or Devices While in Service Level View

There are two ways to search for phones and devices while in Service Level View:

•Search report panel—Searches for phones by domain name, IP address, or MAC address and for devices by domain name or IP address.

For multiple end-customer deployments, when using either phone search the customer information displays only when the phone search results are complete.

Accessing Other Tools

From within the map display pane, you can launch several Cisco Prime UOM tools, external applications, reports, and device administration pages.

To access these tools and applications, right-click on an object in the map display and the available options are displayed in a menu box. For details on starting the Cisco Prime UOM tools, see Launching Service Level View Tools.

Figure 5-1 provides an example of a Service Level View map display for enterprise deployments.

Description

Registered Phones

Phones registered with Cisco Prime UOM.

Unregistered Phones

Unregistered phones in Cisco Prime UOM.

Unknown Phones

Phones that Cisco Prime UOM cannot identity.

Devices

Lists the number of phones, devices, and clusters.

Clusters

Lists the number of clusters.

Starting the Connectivity Detail View

The Connectivity Detail View provides a Service Level View of the neighboring connectivity for the selected devices. For every selected device, the next-hop devices that are physically connected appear. By default the hop count is 1 and cannot be changed. Figure 5-2 show the Connectivity Detail View with the Tools menu selected for a device in the view.

Figure 5-2 Connectivity Detail View

Step 1 In the Map Display pane, right-click on the device for which you want to view the connectivity detail.

Getting Event Details Using the Service Level View

In the Service Level View, as shown in Figure 5-1, icons appears next to the device when an event is generated on the device. The event severities are critical, warning, or informational. Table 5-5 shows the event status icons.

When an event is generated, it remains in the Service Level View until it is cleared. The cleared event is removed from the Events display after you invoke the Cisco Prime UOM purge operation. This determines that the alarm has been in the cleared state for 30 minutes or longer (from the time of the purge interval) . While the event is in the display, if any of its events recur, the event is updated.

Viewing Devices and Clusters from Service Level View

Service Level View shows the logical relationship between all voice devices present in Cisco Prime UOM. Because of the need to support hundreds of Unified CM clouds or hundreds of gateways in a single cluster, the Service Level View provides only device cluster views.

For Enterprise users, cloud clusters are identified by device name or IP address.

It also displays excessive numbers (over 500) of gateways, APP servers, SIP-APP servers, H323 devices, SRST devices, or Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) devices in a Unified CM cluster in a flat table format. This report is static and can be manually refreshed.

If the number of devices in a cluster is larger than a specified limit, the devices appear in a flat table format. If the devices do not exceed the limit, they are displayed graphically.

The default device count limit for reporting is 50. When the number of devices in a cluster (including CCMS) exceeds 50, report icons appear.

To change this limit to any value less than 50, modify the DEVICE_MAX_COUNT_FOR_STARTING_REPORT parameter in the CSCOpx\MDC\tomcat\ webapps\triveni\topo_flash\topo.properties file.

You can access the following reports and tools using Service Level View:

Using the MGCP and APP Server Reports

MGCP or APP Server reports are specifically launched for every Communications Manager in the cluster.

These reports display information on devices which are registered directly to a particular Communications Manager. MGCP and APP Server devices are included in this report. Table 5-6 contains the details on the MGCP and APP Server reports.
